Dear K9,

I struggle to write this message but I know you will all understand how I feel.

Our darling boy was pts at home on Saturday. A few days before we had been given the news that he had terminal liver cancer. There were no symptoms until I noticed a swelling in his tummy and he seemed breathless on the Thursday and took him for an emergency appt at the vets, his bloods were normal but a scan showed his liver was full of it. Nothing could be done andI would have done anything. In shock we took him home. We spoilt him, cuddled him and took him for his favourite walks in the corn fields. I could already see the deteriation in him and would never had him feel any pain because he was a 100 mile an hour dog. His cancer was rare in a dog so young and I know the vet and all at the practice were upset. We had Sonny for 15 months and they were the best ever. He was a work in progress and he touched everyone who ever met him. It's so unfair that he was taken so young when he enjoying the life he should have had all along. A member of our family is missing and there is so much sadness in our home, I cry all the time, miss the way he leant on my leg as we walked as only they do, I miss his yodelling and wooing, his cheekyness and most of all my cuddles and his beautiful brown eyes. He was my first pointy face and only about 4 years old and he will have a place in my heart forever. It seems he only ever had 15 months but we rescued him and gave him the best time of his life and I know he knew he was loved.

He slipped away peacefully with his family with all the love and dignity he deserved.

God bless my angel I am so proud of you and thank you for the love you gave us. Till I see you again x

Im Truly Sorry to Hear about your Loss. Your Post certainly brought a tear to my eye as I have too lost a young dog three months ago and I am still so upset. These dogs are special to us and its heartbreaking when they go especially so young. My dog was very much by the sounds of it like yours with the yodelling and wooing all part of her character and she was a rescue too from horrible circumstances. She was a doing dog, always on the go, and very demanding in a nice sort of way. I loved her to bits and miss her so much. I think that when you have rescued them you want to protect them so much and when they get some horrible disease you cant do anymore. Its very hard but the old cliche time will help heal I suppose will come but for now I am definately one that can fully sympathise with you.
